ABSTRACT
The drinking water supply during pre-monsoon season in India is one of the major problem in peri urban region. Vapi in India is one of the fast developing peri urban region. This research was commenced with the objective to assess drinking water supply scenario for 2041 using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model, considering 2014 as the current year for the study region. Data were assembled and analyzed in order to design 2 different scenarios- Actual demand and simulated demand with %Error. The current demand depicts the total water demand of Vapi city in 2014. The simulated demand takes into consideration all the conditions of current demand, but works with the increased demand. The current water demand in Vapi district is 18.22 Million Cubic Meter and is expected to continuously increase. The source of water for this region is Madhuban dam which is situated upstream of study region on Damanganga River.
